Wuyi Rou Gui

Immerse yourself in the captivating essence of Rou Gui 肉桂, a distinguished Wuyi Rock 武夷岩茶 tea celebrated for its unmistakable cinnamon aroma. This exceptional oolong boasts a robust and spicy fragrance that entices the senses, leading to a rich and smooth taste on the palate. Crafted with meticulous care by Wang Shunming, a national-level intangible cultural heritage inheritor, this Rou Gui embodies the pinnacle of Wuyi Rock Tea artistry, offering a complex flavor profile that harmoniously blends a sweet, lingering aftertaste with intriguing hints of roasted minerals and delicate floral undertones.

Cultivated at an average altitude of 650 meters within the unique terroir of Wuyi Mountain, Rou Gui flourishes in the region's red sandstone weathered soils. These soils, characterized by their loose texture, high humus content, and mild acidity, coupled with abundant rainfall, mist-shrouded mountains, and a moderate climate featuring warm winters and cool summers, create an ideal environment for exceptional tea cultivation. The constant flow of pure spring water further nourishes these prized tea plants, contributing to their distinctive character.

Renowned for its sharp and enduring aroma reminiscent of cinnamon, this Rou Gui tea delivers a rich and refreshing taste, marked by a pronounced "rock essence." The finished tea leaves exhibit a tightly curled, dark, and lustrous appearance with subtle red highlights. Its potent, spicy fragrance persists through multiple infusions, accompanied by a thick and lively taste and a clear, golden-yellow liquor. The bright yellow tea leaves, tightly curled and richly colored in brown-green hues, contribute to the tea's distinguished texture and aromatic persistence, making it a cherished selection among discerning tea enthusiasts.
